Let's See Those Double Cab Long Beds! 3rd Gen

Salmon River Idahoho truck camping.

 

I had the same problem with mine, I swapped to 265-75-16 tires, took off the air damn and added a bed decal. I love it now. Bad picture but here’s mine

 

10 days old.

 

What lift and size tires you running?

 

Here it is after a month did wheels and tires and some cosmetic mods.
Going to install 5100s and have it set on the 1 inch setting and going to do a Deaver 1 inch lift pack

 

How you like that shell?

 

Here is mine got it two weeks ago

 

It works well for me as i sleep in the back and like the extra headroom/haul room. This is my second ARE MX and I would buy again.

 

My dealer installed 2" spacers in the front and 1" blocks in the back since they would not install the TRD lift kit on a long bed. I really wanted the black pro grill that came with the TRD lift kit but it was also much cheaper doing it this way so it was a trade off.

Then I had 265/75r16 (31.5") KO2's installed as the stock tires that are 265/70r16 (30.5") just look a little small after the lift. They are only an inch bigger than the stock tire but I think the KO2's just look beefier.
Some people do 285's (33") tires but you have to cut and chop the truck which I didn't want to do since it is brand new. I have also read you lose some acceleration, gas milage and handling when going with that big of a tire. I haven't noticed much difference from the stock tires so far.

If you plan on doing heavy off roading you will want to spend more money on a lift. I did it purely for the aesthetics as the only off roading I do is when I go fishing/camping.

Sorry I got a little long winded but hope that helps.

 

window tint fully cured after 5 days, now I can roll down the windows and see if the mud flaps and seats color match. Close enough to me.
